From the release notes:

  • This is the first public beta release (beta 1 was created for testing by the core development team).
  • Many minor bug fixes to the existing new features found in beta 1 (see below).
  • Many thanks to Martin Dybdal for his work on improving the admin panel.
  • Carlos made significant changes so Mu can be packaged with very recent versions of Python. Carlos also made various changes relating to the status of Python packages contained within the official installer.
  • Many thanks to Dan Pope for assistance with an upgraded version of PyGameZero (which uses the latest version of PyGame - kudos to René and the other developers of PyGame for the recent improvements).
  • Various fixes to the UI so that panes are easier to resize and the themes are correctly applied to the REPL (thanks again to Martin for these fixes).
  • Carlos also contributed fixes relating to the micro:bit mode (compatibility with versions 1 and 2).
  • Tim has made herculean efforts to ensure the creation and checking of Mu's virtual environment is robust and easy to maintain.
  • A new crash reporting feature has been added. If Mu breaks the user will be redirected to the endpoint codewith.mu/crash with details of the crash and an option to create a bug report. This ensures Mu crashes are handled more gracefully, and the user is able to see the error that caused the crash.
  • A new animated splash screen has been added so the initial creation of Mu's virtual environment happens in such a way that the user can see progress is being made, and updates are logged on the splash screen for the user. If Mu encounters a problem at this early stage, the splash screen recovers and the new crash reporting feature kicks in. The current animation was created by Steve Hawkes (thank you) with a much more polished version promised very soon..!
  • Behind the scenes, Tiago has continued to make outstanding work on the pup tool we use to create the installers for Windows 64/32 bit and MacOS X. This beta release will be the first to use installers created with pup.
  • Known bug - on first ever start of Mu, if in Python3 mode the package manager will not work. Re-starting Mu fixes this (i.e. from second and subsequent starts). We're tracking this problem via this issue.
